This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like “*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things”??? What the fuck are you selling then

    Was just arguing about the usefulness of AI as a tool with someone on here, and he said that AI consistently making mistakes is a great way to improve critical thinking skills, because it challenges you to figure it out on your own after AI fails.

    So what I’m saying is, that was an absolute rubbish take, and shit like this is going to be the downfall of the internet. The internet was such a wonderful, useful tool, and now look at how they massacred my boy 😞

    I recently ran into this issue with a coffee pot. I was specifically hunting for a coffee pot with an adjustable temperature warmer. Ordered one that specifically stated that in the description, only to receive a coffee pot that did not have that feature. Checked the model number on the box versus the listing, and it’s the same. Then I saw the fine print: we are not responsible for inaccurate product information.

    I’m like 95% sure a 360 degree hinge isn’t even possible, without the thing connected to that hinge being paper thin.

      Technically they’re not a single 360° hinge. They’re actually two 180° hinges that are very close to each other with a short link. I’ve got one right here.

      that was like a puzzle how to make a hinge swing to and paste 360, but it would be past 360 degrees if the hinge was attached to rubber or sting.

      I was gonna say I thought I remembered some of the lenovos doing it, but after poking around I’m pretty sure they only do like 300º instead

          I had one with a similar hinge and it never felt fragile. Of course I never tried to use it like in the picture, that just seems silly.

        There’s some “2-in-1 laptops”, which you can fold over fully:

        Photo of such a laptop, laying flat on its keyboard.

        The keyboard disables when you do that, so that you can hold it like a tablet.

        But yeah, as someone else said, it still isn’t actually one hinge that goes 360°, but rather two hinges chained together.

            Ah yeah, damn, I put a different one in.

            lemmy.ml has an automatic image proxy, which is in theory really cool, because it prevents requests from going out to all kinds of webpages, but sometimes it fails to process the image and I can only check after I’ve hit “Reply”…

    I really thought the way this would shake out is what the end user would own all the assistant chatter and the mistakes it made and businesses would generate easily machine parsable shit for YOUR assistant to parse to make it easy for your agent to both inform you and lessen the friction for the actual sale eg lenovo hp dell etc would provide machine parseible specs and you would conversationally find an item and end up with it in a cart but the last step would be human crafted UI where you would agree to buy exactly what it was you were buying and you were responsible for reading it because THAT not your prior chat with YOUR agent was what they were responsible for.

    Truth in advertising was killed off in the 80’s… They can basically say whatever they want now and little ever gets done.
